Macau has become the most popular destination for mainland Chinese outbound tourists for the first time, moving up from third place previously.
This is according to the latest ranking by the China Tourism Academy, a body directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The results were part of an essay on sustainable exchanges between mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau in tourism, published on its official WeChat account on Tuesday.
Macau scored 83.49 in the first quarter, compared with 84.09 in the same period last year.
Hong Kong is in seventh place this year with a score of 81.77, down from fifth place last year when its score was 82.86.
Hong Kong once topped the league table in 2017, before the Covid pandemic, while Macau was at the bottom of the top 10 – the first time it has made it into the top 10 in recent years.
A decade ago, Hong Kong was ranked fourth and Macau 12th.
